so dean,  When window eyes comes out with mozilla access or a screen reader
for linux comes out with it or the freedom box starts to take off, what then
will be said?  All freedom has to do is build onto the hooks provided. They
do a heck of a lot to support ie.

I am so profoundly dubious that any volunteer effort will replicate the
simultaneous access to tables, text, and forms that IE and JFW provides
through MSAA that, while I appreciate the thought of this, I can't see it
going anywhere useful.  Maybe they'll eventually get one thing right, like
maybe eventually you won't have to use the JAWS cursor to read web pages,
but all of it!  It's the same principle that ends up rendering the
well-meaning efforts at a low-cost screen reader ultimately fruitless.  For
people to spend the number of hours this takes requires motivation, and
that motivation usually comes in the form of monetary compensation.
